Raw milk is really dumb.

I really hate when families put their kids at risk with this stuff.

A young child isn't going to understand the risk they are undertaking here, and they are going to be the most at risk from the pathogens.

"The children, ages 3 months to 10 years, fell ill in late June and early July. One child was hospitalized, state health officials said"

One of the children was infected with two different strains of E. coli in addition to the Salmonella, so they were likely infected multiple times by the raw milk.

I really don't understand when people argue the health "benefits" of raw milk as if fermentation isn't a thing. If you want safe probiotics just drink kefir or yogurt or something. And the risks aren't just from handling or sourcing with raw milk.

Healthy animals can carry these pathogens in their milk.
